To most Christians it is no secret that the celebration of the Birth of Jesus Christ includes traditions with this celebration that were taken out of other peoples Pagan god worship. The baffling part is that Christians accept this.
Instead of Christians refusing to decorate their homes with traditions that have the origin in Pagan gods, they insist upon continuing in it. Instead of Christians enforcing to their children that the Lord our God is One, who robed himself in the flesh, for the purpose of destroying sin that we may live; they make sure to include another godhead.
The godhead of Santa Claus, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, and Frosty the snowman. They allow their children and themselves to continue to take part with the world. They continue to listen to music that has nothing to do with Christ and laugh, sharing memories of their own, when Santa Claus was alive to them.
They continue to indulge in movies and partake of the abominations of the world that have nothing to do with the Birth of our Savior during this special time that we have chosen to honor when our Creator came to deliver us from bondage.
Instead of tearing down the high places, they decorate their homes in these abominations. Claiming that we do it in honor of the Lord Jesus Christ. The God who said, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” The God who told us to teach our children daily of the ways of the LORD our God.
Instead we desecrate the day in which we honor the Birth of our Savior by placing borrowed pagan practices in our homes and outside of our homes. Sometimes, we even include Him in the celebration and place a Nativity Scene up. How nice of us.
There was a time God winked at such ignorance. But now, we our without excuse. We are to worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. How can we claim this if we include songs that do not glorify our Lord? How can we claim this if we include pagan symbols in our homes? How can we claim this if when we do come to the knowledge of the truth, we then try to justify it?
The Lord our God will share His Glory with no one!! Just ask Dagon.
1 Samuel 5:2-4
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
Or how about asking Herod?
Acts 12:21-23
21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
It is beyond the time that we as Christians only celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ. There is nothing wrong with the exchanging of gifts to one another. And there is nothing wrong with placing Nativity Scenes in honor of the Lord. There is nothing wrong with placing Jesus is the Reason for the Season. And certainly nothing wrong with playing music that speaks of the Birth of our Savior, which brings to Him glory and honor.
There is plenty of ways to celebrate and honor our Lord Jesus Christ during this great time. But why would you want to include traditions that came from pagan worship in your home.
Let me pose a question to you? Let’s pretend that a god named Dagon really existed and you wanted to celebrate him and him alone. Would you then go and purchase Buddha statues and place them around your home? Or Ever Green trees, Oak trees, Fir trees and the like? Would you look at the heathen and see their practices and include them in your practices to honor your god? Would you teach your children of a fairy tale that is more appealing to their ears and share with them these fantasies to desecrate your god?
Then how much more should you come out from among them and these practices to honor and praise the One True and Living God, Jesus Christ the Righteous????
The Catholic Church work their sorceries.
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Pop Quiz!!!!! Who is the Word according to this verse? Answer: God
The Trinity heresy which was birthed out of the Catholic Church was directly influenced by the writings of earlier philosophers. The Catholic Church placed their influence upon these writings and brought forth a completely different teaching that declared that the Godhead was made up of three co-equal, co-eternal, co-existent individuals.
This took place in two separate councils. The Council of Nicea took place in 325 AD. The second council that convened was the Council of Constantinople. These councils gave birth to what is called the Nicene creed that is in use today. With adjustments to the creed as late as 589 AD at the Synod of Toledo, which became the common doctrine of the Trinitarian today.
The original teaching of the Apostolic Doctrine of the Word (Logos), or the thought, plan, reasoning, or mind of God which was God was not two individuals or two separate substances, but rather as stated in scripture this Word was God. God then robed himself in a flesh body. The Word became the expressed visible image of the invisible God; the flesh of the son of man, the son of God. Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. (Col 1:15; Matt 1:23)
This teaching of one god made up of three individuals is a heresy which causes the believer to embrace a plurality of deity. (Though Trinitarians will claim three individuals as one; not plurality). It denies and defies the Word of God, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament.
Jesus is not God the second individual person in the godhead. But the Everlasting Father, the Mighty God, indwelling the body of the man Christ Jesus. For in him (Jesus) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (Isa 9:6; Col 2:9)
This heresy is a compromise of who God is and thus this compromise becomes an act of Whoredom by the Harlot Church.
1 John 5:7
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
This verse said that the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost are one. It did not say these three are one made up of three. Because that would no longer be one, but would be three. And this is exactly what the Trinitarian does. They add to this scripture to make their doctrine fit.
They tear down the Wisdom of God and make of none effect of whom Jesus is.
The Father - God
The Word - God
The Holy Ghost - God
And all three = one = God
Deuteronomy 6:4
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
Name = Jesus, as the Apostles instructed us in Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Thus fulfilling the instruction of the baptism given by Jesus from:
Matthew 28:19-20
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
What is the Name? Answer: Jesus
For Jesus is the one who gave the Apostles theses instructions:
Luke 24:46-49
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
What was His name? Answer: Jesus
The Gospel of Jesus Christ was built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets.
Ephesians 2:20
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.
Jesus Christ was an Apostle!!!!
Hebrews 3:1
3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.
Jesus Christ said:
John 17:6
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
What name did he manifest? Answer: Jesus.
John 17:26
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
What name did he declare? Answer: Jesus.
For we were told:
Colossians 3:17
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
For to put on Christ you must be baptized into Christ.
Romans 13:14
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Galatians 3:27
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Romans 6:3
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
How then can you put on Jesus Christ if you were baptized in the name of the titles of which Jesus manifested himself? The Father in Creation. The Son in Redemption. The Holy Spirit in Action.
The terms Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are roles in which the Lord worked in. Even we as humans take on many roles. Such as being a father to our children, a son to our parents, an uncle to our nephews, a grandpa to our grandchildren, and so forth.
We are still one. But our lives can take on many roles.
Just because we take on a new role, does not make us more than one individual.
If there is not a Trinity of God, then where is the Church???
The Oneness Apostolic Pentecostals never came out of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church turned their backs on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and perverted it. Thus they have become the Harlot Church and are deceiving multitudes with their sorceries.
The Gospel declares to us the plan of Salvation and the Oneness of our God. The fulfillment of the plan of Salvation of which the Lord instructed us:
Luke 13:2-5
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Mark 16:15-16
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
John 3:1-7
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Thus the fulfillment of what Jesus Christ taught can be found in the book of Acts in the birthing of the Church.
Acts 2:38-39
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
There is only One LORD....
Deuteronomy 6:4-5
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Ephesians 4:4-6 (Explained)
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
There is only One body,
The Body of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 12:5
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
There is only One Spirit,
The Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ.
Romans 8:9
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
There is only One hope,
Eternal life through our Savior Jesus Christ.
Titus 2:13
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
There is only One Lord,
Jesus whom God made both Lord and Christ.
Acts 2:36
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
There is only One Faith,
The teaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:27
27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
There is only One baptism,
The baptism into the death of Jesus Christ.
Romans 6:3
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
There is only One God,
His name was manifested by Jesus Christ.
John 17:6
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
There is only One Father,
His name was declared by Jesus Christ.
John 17:26
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
There is only One door,
The door which is the Lord Jesus Christ.
John 10:7
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
There is only One name,
Every knee shall bow before Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2:10-11
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Acts 4:12
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
The Catholic Church: Adding Whoredoms to Whoredoms.
This list is so long it will take another lesson sometime.......
So we will concentrate on the subject of how the day of December 25th was chosen for the Birth of Jesus Christ by the Catholic Church.
By the third century AD, there were many religions and spiritual practices being followed within the Roman Empire. Many of those celebrated the birth of their god-man/saviors near the time of the winter solstice.
The Roman Emperor Aurelian around 270 to 275 AD blended a number of Pagan winter solstice celebrations of god-men/saviors together including: Hercules, Dionysus, Baal, Appolo, Osiris, Mithra, Attis, Perseus, Horus, Theseus, and Helios. This festival was called the "Dies Natalis Solic Invite" the "Birthday of the Unconquered Sun" which was celebrated on December 25th.
Then around the beginning of the fourth century AD when Christianity was the accepted religious practices of Rome, there was an increased desire to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church decided to pick December 25th for this time of celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ because it was already the recognized birthday of the Pagan gods. However, it took centuries before it was universally accepted.
This forced acceptance of the Christian religion brought in all the pagans. The Catholic Church did not teach the people who practiced paganism the Plan of Salvation, neither did they teach the people who practiced paganism a life of separation.
The Catholic Church instead forced them to join the Church and this was not any problem for the majority of pagan worshipers, because most of them already worshiped more than one god anyhow. So this God of the Christians was just another God that was mightier than their gods.
The Catholic Church also never tore down all of the pagan statues or idols. They instead changed the names of these statues to Christian saints. And eventually allowed people to pray to these saints.
The Catholic Church’s heretical, damnable doctrine has continued to grow since that time and will end when the Pope of the Catholic Church embraces the Anti-Christ and the Lord Jesus Christ appears and.....
Revelation 19:20
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 18:4
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Since December 25th is the recognized time of celebration of the Birth of Jesus Christ, let us celebrate this glorious occasion as becometh the saints of God, not with idolatrous practices of paganism. Let us turn from this ungodliness of inserting pagan tradition into our celebration of the Lord of Glory.
